If you just stopped in from Bree's blog I'm sure you enjoyed her projects. She is uber creative!

My first card features the Floating Technique. It gives the illusion that your paper is floating on the card.  

Floating Technique Amazing Thanks Save

I adhered random sizes of card stock strips onto a piece of Window Sheet and used our largest circle in the Layering Circles dies  to die-cut it out.  I've been making monochromatic cards lately and chose my favorite blue/green hues of Bermuda Bay, Pool Party & Coastal Cabana.

Details:

  • This circle is added with Stampin' Dimensionals onto White CS that's been embossed with the Tasteful Textile embossing folder. 
  • The 'Thanks' is made with our Amazing Thanks dies from the January-June catalog. 
  • The 'Friend' greeting was fussy cut from the Special Moments stamp set.
  • Those pretty rhinestones are from a new release coming out in March called the Wave Collection.  Rhinestones in blues & greens!!

I recently made a card with the Hello Ladybug using Magenta Madness with Black and wanted to try it out with Coastal Cabana too. I found out that our new Supple Shimmer specialty paper works great for wings! It's pretty & iridescent.

It's also what I like to call Black & White with a 'pop' of color.  A bit of black on a card makes other colors 'show up' and be noticed. 

This card is an easy fun fold.  Turn any basic card into a fun fold with these measurements: 

  • Card base 5 ½” X 8 ½”, score at 2 1/8” & 4 ¼”
  • White (X 2) 3 ½” X 4 ¾”
  • 3 ¾” X 5” Black

The stamped images are all from the Hello Ladybug stamp set.  It's in a bundle with the punch at 10% off when purchased together.

  • Triple Stack & Cut cards with free project sheet & video tutorial

    I'm a bit addicted to this card layout!  I'm calling it the Triple Stack & Cut card.  

    Translucent Floral triple stack Save

    You start out with three different patterns of designer paper measuring 3 3/4" X 5".  Stack them together and make the upper right cut – a triangle.  You could measure it but I just made sure my stack was even and sliced it off. It's approximately 3/4" from the upper left and 1" from the lower right.  

    Then for the remaining pieces you continue cutting all three pieces at once, cutting approximately in half on the diagonal and about 1" from the lower left.  

    You can now mix & match so one piece of each pattern can fit on each of 3 card fronts.  I adhered them to a 4" X 5 1/4" piece of Berry Burst card stock.  That then adheres to your card base – I folded back my front to create a fun fold design.

    Tip: Note that the patterned paper has a large print, a small print and one without pattern.  This can help your card appear soothing and less busy. 

    I shared how to do this on the video below.  In the video I used the Traditions of St. Nick designer paper; another Online Exclusive seen here.  

    I used the Christmas Classic bundle seen here with Real Red, Cherry Cobbler, Mossy Meadow & White card stock.

    The Mossy Meadow leaves are from the Christmas Classics dies.  Here are the three cards I made:

  • All About Autumn Accordion Fold card

    Check out this beautiful swap card Karen made with the All About Autumn Designer series paper: 

    Sept Karen All About Autumn Save

    That pretty greeting is from the Autumn Leaves stamp set; the die is from the Timeless Greetings bundle. This beautiful designer paper (All About Autumn seen here) is not currently available. It will be back in later October though. 

    The card front doesn't look at all like it might be a fun fold does it?  But check this out!  

    Sept Karen All About Autumn Save

    It's called an Accordion fold and she cased this card idea from Sue Campfield.  The designer paper on the front is most of the card front; it's adhered to a small layer of card stock though. *You can see the back of the designer paper front on the photo below. 

    She did an awesome job on the inside of the card; so many layers and textures galore!  The texture is from the new Distressed Tile 3D embossing folder seen here.
